Thanks for the feedback Grey Nomad.

Not a Ferrari look at me type so the Jab 230 stacks up well except one issue for me personally. Being left handed I really prefer to fly left hand on the stick and this precludes the Jabiru for me. Maybe I'm being a bit precious but I feel when you've got choice go with what's right for you.

Thanks for the welcome.

Not me as actually first name is Rob...just a nickname.

Thanks for the welcome Neil. Will certainly be doing lots of homework before making any decision.

Thanks Skydog, certainly will take my time analysing all the info and feedback. Main message seems to be gather all the information, take your time and make a decision that's right for you own needs.

Welcome Louie.The Sierra or Cheeta are both good planes. The collapse of the financial market stopped me buying a kit, but I am still working on it. Great to fly, very manouverable and good speedwise.

GFC hasn't done me any favours as well....Cheetah and Sierra seem to rate highly and appreciate the feedback.

Thanks Slarti. Seems to stack up pretty well against the wish list and basic kit about 20K+ cheaper than Lightning. Will contact Garry for some info.

Thanks Slarti

Sierra is sounding interesting. Have been keen on the Lighning however $$$ start to get out of control. Sierra must be relatively new additiion from what I can see. Do you know if many are flying or in build stage and are flaps standard?

Thanks for that. will check it out.

Thanks Nev. Look forward to the journey.

Have been browsing this site and now joining as I am sure there is a wealth of knowledge and info available. Haven't flown for about 10 years and ex GA looking to get back into it through RA. Looking to build/buy and trying to do all the normal research and decision making. Current considerations are Lightning, Morgan Sierra, Rans S19 etc etc as looking for 120Kts + and weighing up the cost benefit issues. Any suggestions, advice or discussions would be appreciated.
